Hank got the all clear to leave the room yesterday afternoon, so he has been all over this hospital. His spirits are high, thanks to the amazing visitors and constant entertainment from Randy and I. He is quickly becoming famous on the third floor. The nurses are in love!
The Doctor just came in this afternoon and told us his platelets jumped from 59-76 which is awesome progress. He said he wished his other HUS patients had that much progress. He looked at Hank and said, "Gee I'm glad I don't have to put you on dialysis.". He is hopeful that if we continue to see progress he can get out of here later this weekend possibly. I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know how medical things go and I need to be emotionally prepared for this thing to take longer than expected. His kidney function is holding steady but is still only about 50% of normal. I know he's going to beat this thing. The doctor said the damage done to his kidneys is minimal so that is great news.
I can't thank everyone enough for their love and concern. It means more to me than I can ever say. I feel your support and it is the only thing getting me through this. Thank you to everyone who has helped me with Max. Randy and I are taking turns going home and spending time with him. He is anxious to have our entire family back together and so am I. Love to you all!

Of course the nurses are in love! How could they not be?!
Glad to hear he could leave the room and that compared to the little ones with HUS he is doing.
And that compared to the other little ones with HUS he is doing better... Leaving comments via my phone is rarely a good idea
